Roulette Road Expert Ghost

I've tried everything:

AGES + AGES Mod
Metal Sonic + Genesis Mod
Sonic + Super Speed Mod
Dr. Eggman + Genesis Mod
Shadow + Standard Mod
Vyse + Dreamcast Mod

And i STILL can't beat it. And it's even more annoying when i get to the FIREBALL sign, i just see the ghost whizz right past me, and i have no idea how it does it. And don't get me started on the 2 large curves before the finish line. Either i try not to lose too much speed so i can make the corner, and then the ghost ends up speeding past me, or i try and go around it as fast as i can, and i end up in the yellow zones and lose ALL of my speed. I am literally rattling my head over how the hell i beat this ghost. What is it i have to do to beat this ghost?

(And yes, i have read the Yokozuna Community Guide, but that doesn't help me either.)

I was having a rather "easier" time using Willemus or Ryo with their Console Mod. The large curves at the end of the track are the most crucial parts, you either could make or break it there. Try to let off the gas a bit there and make a turn without touching the yellow zone. Never let go the drift boost in the middle of the two curves; simply switch drift there and then you could let it go at the end of the second curve. Hope this helps!

The things is the ghost is somehow WAY better at drifting the corners, and it always seems to get ahead of me no matter how little i tap off the gas when drifting.

Roulette Road TA in my opinion is one of, if not the hardest ghost in SASRT. You would notice a sudden speed gain the ghost has on the snake-curved road. And yeah, it does drifting better than the ghost on other tracks. The negligible time difference we could schieve compared to the ghost's time on the track further confirms the difficulty of it.

This is one of the helpful guides I could find. Hope you would find this helpful too :

How the hell do i drift so close inwards on the last 2 corners? I keep trying to do it like in the video but it just doesn't work for me at all.

You need to keep the balance between letting on and off the gas. It's hard indeed, but with practices you could do it. For me (using keyboard), I'm tapping the gas button repeatedly while keeping the car stable/steady.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, it works. Now i can turn the corners more better. I still need some way to stay WAY ahead of the ghost before it suddenly gets faster...

Glad that could work out for you. I see you don't have the Yokozuna achievement yet. I recommend you to beat those ghosts on every track once and for all, and if you have interest in TA record, trying to beat each TA time on the guide I mentioned before (which is the current world record, at least since the last time it is updated).

Yah, i have been trying to get it. I've beaten all maps except Roulette Road and Egg Hangar. And i don't really care much for TA records, i just want to get the achievement is all.

And i finally ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ figured it out. I can drift more smoothly if i don't press RT all the way, but only partly. Man, i wish i had known this earlier. I thought this was one of those racing games where it didn't base your speed depending on how hard to put the pedal to the metal. Hopefully now i cam beat it.

The game does utilize trigger buttons' functionality on game controller. You would get different levels of speed based on how hard you push the trigger button.

Unfortunately this doesn't apply for keyboard players like me since we don't have the "trigger buttons", obviously lol.

You can hold a Level 3 Drift Boost before starting the lap. That helps a lot with beating the ghost; it's the hardest one of them all.

Yeah i always do that but i'm not really sure where to use my Boost Item. And there's no point in saving it after the final curve because the ghost will be too ahead for me to catch up.

Oh right, I forgot to mention that one. Thanks, IceBlade!

Also, always run a "warming up" lap first before doing the real attempt, and keep the boost item. You'd want to use the boost item AND the drift boosts you have accumulated at the same time just before you cross the finish line and start the real attempt, and you would still have the boost item from the new lap.

Getting to know where to use the boost item is a tricky matter, as each player has different way of using them. Watching some videos for references and gathering your own experiences are the best way to figure it out.
